Background Cancer is common in older adults, who often have concurrent frailty. Frailty is a
strong predictor of adverse outcomes in surgical patients. Our objective is to systematically …

Background Perioperative frailty is prevalent and requires complex management, which
could be guided by clinical practice guidelines (CPGs). The objective of this systematic …

Importance Frailty is associated with mortality following surgery and cardiopulmonary
resuscitation (CPR) for in-hospital cardiac arrest. Despite the growing focus on frailty as a …

Background Preoperative frailty is associated with increased risk of postoperative mortality
and complications. Routine preoperative frailty assessment is underperformed. Automation …

Background: Patients with frailty consistently experience higher rates of perioperative
morbidity and mortality; however, costs attributable to frailty remain poorly defined. This …

Objective: To compare predictive accuracy of frailty instruments operationalizable in
electronic data for prognosticating outcomes among older adults undergoing emergency …

Frailty is a multidimensional state related to accumulation of age‐and disease‐related
deficits across multiple domains. Older people represent the fastest growing segment of the …

Background Degenerative spinal diseases are common in older adults with concurrent
frailty. Preoperative frailty is a strong predictor of adverse clinical outcomes after surgery …

Background Frailty assessment is imperative for tailoring healthcare interventions for older
adults, but its implementation remains challenging due to the effort and time needed. The …

Objective Many tools have been used to assess frailty in the perioperative setting. However,
no single scale has been shown to be the most effective in predicting postoperative …
